| | Re: New release of Castle series
|
|
I believe the prospects for official ancient toy themes relies on popular entertainment. (Personally, I'd rather not see an official one.) Unfortunately that iron has been heated and cooled already. The "Sword and Sandals" genre in the past few (...) (22 years ago, 3-May-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.ancient)

| | Re: Dear Lego, if you must license, how about the Dragonriders of Pern
|

(...) Hmm. I'm guessing that gold or bronze bricks would be more expensive than regular bricks. So I think that would make it less likely that LEGO would make them. But, they've made the technic Super Battle Droid, which has blue parts treated (...) (22 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) More fine work. At first, I thought I was reading the same story over again with people passing their wives off as sisters. I always thought it was strange the the Kings in the stories say that someone could have easily slept with the women (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) No, no, the author is very careful to point out that this is a *different* famine than the one in Abraham's time, so see, this is a wholly different story. Isaac just happens to try the same trick to the same king of the same place. But its (...) (22 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) time to look at the "Isaac's sister" story and will go through the others in detail later. You cheated! You reused your background from "Abraham's sister"! Of course, the story is pretty much a repeat, which was maybe your point. I really like (...) (22 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

| | Re: Bamiyan Buddhas
|

I hadn't got much further than collecting photos. There were several articles about Bamiyan in the past two years of _Minerva_, a journal of ancient art and archaeology. The editor made one remark I'd like to bring up here (I'll have to retrieve (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) I have two thoughts on that subject: The Reverend has done such a great job of recreating other animals out of standard parts I figured he could put together some kind of Queen Grizzly for this story (same goes for the Talking Donkey). On the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Greg, you have no idea how many times per day I get hassled by people coming up to me, grabbing me by the shoulders, shaking me violently, and asking loudly "Why haven't you done my favorite Bible story yet?". Nah, I'm just kidding. This never (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Four new stories have been added to The Brick Testament, bringing the grand total up to thirty-eight Bible stories consisting of 516 illustrations.
